Happy Dependence Day!
Blessings Family! Happy Dependence Day! On July 4, we celebrate Independence Day in the United States of America.

The Spirit of Pride
Blessings, Family, I very nearly didn’t finish my book Loved So Much It Hurts. For one, it was excruciating to relive the trauma of going through cancer. But for another the enemy did not want it to get finished, which was a sign that it needed to get finished. For months, my family endured attack […]
Watchmen to the Wall!
Blessings Friends, We are living in very exciting times. For those just coming into your prophetic mantels and discovering the amazing realm of the Spirit, the weight of these mantels can be at times quite overwhelming.

A Lesson From Gethsemane
Blessings Family, I’ve read the story of Jesus’ last supper, arrest, and crucifixion many times, and this Passover was no exception. But this year as my daughter, husband, and I read from Luke 22, something new caught my eye. “Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And [becoming] in an agony he prayed […]
Real Love
Blessings, Family, In a month that turns our thoughts toward love, I thought it would be nice to take a look at this thing that “makes the world go ‘round.” When the world speaks of love, especially this month, we think of romance—chocolates, roses, diamonds….

Jars of Clay: Enduring the Potter’s Wheel
Blessings, Family, “The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: ‘Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear My words.’ Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. And the vessel that he made of clay was […]
Victim or Victor?
Blessings Family, There were a band of thieves working a neighborhood. They were greedy, crafty, and ruthless. No one ever saw them in operation, only the destruction left in their wake. One man who lived in the neighborhood never read or watched the news, so he knew nothing of the crime wave which had hit […]

Blessed Art Thou
Blessings, Family, For Christmas this year, I decided to share an excerpt from my book, Loved So Much It Hurts: Purpose in the Pain. This particular piece was posted on my CarePage on December 20, 2010, a year after my cancer surgery. This season, I’ve felt the story of our Savior’s birth more deeply than I […]
